I am trying to configure scenes to capture a redirect URL after a successful login attempt. I am using OAuth code flow. This is the code I have so far:
ios_app.swift
import SwiftUI
@main
struct ios_appApp: App {
@UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate
let persistenceController = PersistenceController.shared
@StateObject private var authState = AuthState()
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
.environment(\.managedObjectContext, persistenceController.container.viewContext)
.environmentObject(authState)
}
}
}
AppDelegate.swift
import UIKit
import AWSMobileClient
import GoogleSignIn
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
print("AppDelegate: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions")
AWSMobileClient.default().initialize { (userState, error) in
if let userState = userState {
print("UserState: \(userState)")
} else if let error = error {
print("Error initializing AWSMobileClient: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
GIDSignIn.sharedInstance.restorePreviousSignIn { user, error in
if let error = error {
print("Error restoring previous Google Sign-In: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
return true
}
}
SceneDelegate.swift
import UIKit
import SwiftUI
import GoogleSignIn
class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
print("SceneDelegate: scene willConnectTo")
guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else {
print("SceneDelegate: Invalid windowScene")
return
}
let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
let contentView = ContentView().environmentObject(AuthState())
window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: contentView)
self.window = window
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
print("SceneDelegate: window initialized and visible")
}
func sceneDidDisconnect(_ scene: UIScene) {
print("SceneDelegate: sceneDidDisconnect")
}
func sceneDidBecomeActive(_ scene: UIScene) {
print("SceneDelegate: sceneDidBecomeActive")
}
func sceneWillResignActive(_ scene: UIScene) {
print("SceneDelegate: sceneWillResignActive")
}
func sceneWillEnterForeground(_ scene: UIScene) {
print("SceneDelegate: sceneWillEnterForeground")
}

print("SceneDelegate: sceneDidEnterBackground")
}
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) {
guard let url = URLContexts.first?.url else {
print("SceneDelegate: No URL found in URLContexts")
return
}
print("SceneDelegate: openURLContexts with URL: \(url)")
if GIDSignIn.sharedInstance.handle(url) {
print("SceneDelegate: Google Sign-In handled URL")
return
}
if url.scheme == "myurlscheme" || (url.scheme == "https" && url.host == "mydomain.com" && url.path == "/mobile-auth-callback") {
print("SceneDelegate: Handling auth response for URL: \(url)")
AuthService.shared.handleOAuthCallback(url: url)
} else {
print("SceneDelegate: URL scheme not handled: \(url.scheme ?? "No scheme")")
}
}
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) {
print("SceneDelegate: continue userActivity")
if userActivity.activityType == NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb {
if let url = userActivity.webpageURL {
handleUniversalLink(url: url)
}
}
}
private func handleUniversalLink(url: URL) {
print("SceneDelegate: Handling universal link: \(url)")
if url.path.contains("/mobile-auth-callback") {
let queryItems = URLComponents(url: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)?.queryItems
let code = queryItems?.first(where: { $0.name == "code" })?.value
if let code = code {
print("SceneDelegate: Received code: \(code)")
AuthService.shared.exchangeCodeForToken(code: code)
} else {
print("SceneDelegate: No code found, handling email/password callback")
AuthService.shared.handleEmailPasswordCallback(url: url)
}
}
}
}

I am using the simulator to launch my app and can see AppDelegate related logs but I am not seeing any SceneDelegate logs (I suppose because it is not being initialized nor called).
I have tried restarting the computer/Xcode, clean and rebuild the application but none of the things I tested work.
Is there any part of my code wrong? Any other idea here?
I have an app on the App Store for many years enabling users to post text into clouds in augmented reality. Yet last week abruptly upon installing the app on the iPhone the screen started going totally dark and a list of little comprehensible logs came up of the kind:
ARSCNCompositor <0x300ad0e00>: ARSCNCompositor (0, 0) initialization failed. Matting is not set up properly.
many times, then
RWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to update pose [PredictorFailure] for timestamp 870.392108
ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: Unable to predict pose [1] for timestamp 870.392108
again several times and then:
ARWorldTrackingTechnique <0x106235180>: SLAM error callback: Error Domain=Slam Error Code=7 "Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data" UserInfo={NSDescription=Non fatal error occurred due to significant drop in a IMU data, NSLocalizedFailureReason=SlamEngineNodeGroup Failure: IMU issue: gyro data stream verification failed [Significant data drop]. Failed on timestamp: 870.413247, Last known timestamp: 865.350198, Delta: 5.063049, System timestamp: 870.415781, Delta between system and frame: 0.002534. }
and then again the pose issues several times.
I hoped the new beta version would have solved the issue, but it was not the case. Unfortunately I do not know if that depends on the beta version or some other issue, given the app may be not installed on the Mac simulator.
Hi there,
I successfully created an AppIntent for our app, and when I had it in the same target as our main app it showed up fine in the shortcuts app.
Then I realized that many of the new System Control widgets introduced in iOS 18 (e.g. lockscreen, control center) live in the widget extension target, but they also need to reference that same AppIntent. So to fix this, I thought I'd migrate out the code into it's own SPM package that both the WidgetExtension and the Main App processes can reference. However, after doing that and rebuilding, the intent no longer shows up in the Shortcuts app. Furthermore, my AppShortcutsProvider class now has this error when trying to define the list of appShortcuts:
App Intent <name> should be in the same target as AppShortcutsProvider
Is this intended, and if so, how do we reference the same AppIntent across multiple targets?
I strugge to make the app icon appear in the simulator and on a physical test device. Currently only the placeholder icon is shown. Using Xcode 15.4 and visionOS 1.2
If configured which app icon to use under Targets/[my app]/General:
And in assets theres my visionOS app icon:
Why is the app icon not used? Am I missing something or is this an Xcode bug?
When I attempt to preview my code, I encounter an error message stating, “Cannot preview in this file: Failed to launch (App Name).” This issue is specific to this particular app. I attempted creating a new project, and that works fine.
This is what it says in the diagnostics:
| [Remote] JITError

Build functions on simulator but when I select run on connected iPhone (12 Pro Max, latest iOS 18 beta) I am given a prompt window that says:

Xcode will continue when the operation is complete
with a loading icon. I have let it sit on this screen for over an hour with no change.

When I open the "devices and simulators" window now I only see "No selection" in the center. No sidebar pane, and no detail pane. I was able to set up some simulators up to last week or so, and now this. I've no idea how to create a new simulator or inspect the ones I have.

Up until now, it was possible to check in build scripts via the ENABLE_PREVIEWS environment variable whether a build for a SwiftUI preview is being executed.
In addition, it was also possible to conditionally compile code for SwiftUI or exclude it from compilation using this variable.
This no longer works with Xcode 16 and the new SwiftUI Preview compilation!
There is still the option to switch to the old system with the "Use Legacy Previews Execution" setting, but as stated in the release notes, this option will be removed at some point.
Which brings us back to the old problem of not being able to exclude build scripts from preview builds and not being able to prevent certain code from being compiled / add special code for SwiftUI previews.
This is a terrible situation, especially for more complex projects in which precisely the points mentioned are important for the build process.
I seriously hope Apple provides us with another environment variable for SwiftUI preview builds that we can use.
Hello,
I'm seeing many errors like this in the Xcode debug console when I build and run my app:
ERROR: Unrecognized attribute string flag '?' in attribute string "T@"NSString",?,R,C" for property debugDescription
The app project makes heavy use of Logger(), and I suspect it is related to that logging in some way, but I haven't been able to narrow down the issue to specific log calls.
I have Category, Subsystem and Timestamp enabled in the Xcode console, but none of those are displayed for this output.
What causes this? Or how can I better narrow down the source?
I work on an SDK, and one of the ways we distribute it is as a pre-compiled static XCFramework.
As far as I know, it’s the nature of a static framework to not contain symbols since the framework will be embedded in the final app binary, and the symbols should then be generated.
However, when testing the "Validate" function of the Xcode 16 deployment process, our users are receiving a warning that says the framework does not contain symbols.
Is my assumption about static frameworks and symbols incorrect? Could this be a bug in Xcode 16? Should we modify something in our framework to inform Xcode that symbols are not needed?
I have a project that uses local SPM packages for modularization. In one of my local SPM packages I have a .storyboard file that gets packaged as a resource in the SPM package and consumed inside the parent.
In Xcode 15.4, the resource bundle for my local SPM Package has the bundle id PackageName-TargetName-resources. I use this inside a parent storyboard to reference the storyboard from the SPM package.
In Xcode 16, however, the resource bundle for my SPM Package gets assigned the bundle id packagename.TargetName.resources.
This, of courses, introduces a crash in builds of my app done with Xcode 16 due to the incorrect bundle id.
There is no documentation of this change that I could find by Apple or by the SPM team.
Apple Team: There is a Feedback Report FB14803020 with the build files attached from Xcode 15.4 and Xcode 16. I cannot attach those here due to the public nature of this forum
I came across several "errors" being reported when I run my app, however my app seems to function correctly.
I believe they fall in the category listed on this ( now locked ) thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/115461
However, I wanted to post the ones I found to clarify ( close to submission) just in case any of these end up being more than just log noise later. PLEASE let me know if you've come across these before and whether they impacted anything or if you can confirm they are just log noise. Thanks in advance!

The following 2 pop up - although I have no explicit code or 3P code ( nor Ads) that require impressions - each time I click on the Game Center Access Point post authentication.
Cannot add impressions because no tracker is specified by the metrics fields context. Did you forget to set one from your view controller or data source?
Cannot add page fields because none are specified by the metrics fields context. Did you forget to add an PageMetricsPresenter to the object graph used for actions?
Hello,
I'm unable to run any test cases in Xcode 16 with the iOS 18 simulator.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new iOS project in Xcode 16 using the default iOS app template with the testing option checked.
Run any test or UI test case by clicking the "Play" icon in the Test navigator.
Xcode gets stuck at the "Testing" state indefinitely.
Environment:
macOS 15 beta 8
Xcode 16 beta 6
iOS 18 beta 7 simulator
The Files app in the iOS 18 beta simulator appears to be read-only. I am unable to:
create folders
copy files into it by dragging them from macOS
safe files from safari
I have been unsuccessful at finding a way to popular any file or folder in the Files app which is preventing me from testing some scenarios in my app where I import files using the files sheet.
The earliest I tried was beta 3 and it still persists in beta 7. The iOS 17 simulator works fine in comparison.
My mac is a 2019 macbook pro running Sonoma 14.5.
To reproduce:
New folder
Launch Files app in iOS simulator
Tap into "On my phone"
From the top menu tap "New Folder"
(nothing happens)
Download a file
Launch safari
Find a file like a PDF to download
Tap on the down arrow in the toolbar
Files opens up with the filename in the textfield at the bottom
The "Save" button is grayed out.
Copy from macOS
Open the Files app in iOS and browse to a local folder
drag a file from the macbook onto the simulator
the sheet appears with the filename in the text field
The "Save" button is grayed out
Hello,
I would like to inquire about the release date of Swift Assist’s beta version. Apple has stated that it will be released later this year, but they have not provided a specific date or time.
Could you please provide information on the beta version’s release date? Additionally, is there a trial version available? If so, when was it released?
Thank you for your assistance.
Hello,
Is anyone experiencing devices on OS 17 disconnecting from Xcode 15 and 16 Beta? I remember there were a lot of past conversations around the time when iOS 17 released but it seems to still be happening even after using Xcode 16 beta. Re-pairing devices and rebooting the hosts appear to fix it temporarily. I discovered that killing the remoted process also allows xcode to reconnect to the devices.
Using Xcode 16's devicectl also doesn't work. I have my devices connected to a USB Hub and to multiple devices. The odd thing is I have iOS 16 devices connected and those don't disconnect. I believe iOS 17 introduced a new coredevice stack to connect but has anyone found a fix for it or have any recommendations?
TN3158 isn't relevant in my situation because VPN and Packet filtering is not in use and I filed feedback with Apple but they have't responded in a long time.
On iOS 18.0+ simulators, tap any share link button from any app, select "Save to Files", the "Save" button is disabled.
In all previous simulator versions this works. This behavior even happens with default Apple apps like Photos.
Simulator: Version 16.0 (1037)
XCode: Version 16.1 beta (16B5001e)
macOS: 14.6.1 (23G93)
I have some formatting strings that got in my string catalog, e.g. "%@" or "(%@)".
However these strings are no longer used in my code anywhere (searching "In this project" in Xcode only matches the entries in my strings catalog), but Xcode does not remove them.
I tried editing the file in a text editor, removing them manually but they keep coming back.
Any solution for this?
Xcode Version 15.4 (15F31d)
